Maps old and new
I’ve just written a piece for in-flight magazine Velocity on the way digital mapping is affecting our view of the city. It’s interesting - because we can now map in real time, so we can map flows, not just stasis.
That means we can now map, for instance, San Francisco’s nightlife - where is everyone going? [...] Playing the room
